General Info

This blended league (open to both middle and high school teams) offers a unique opportunity to compete, collaborate, and grow within a focused and dynamic community. Unlike single-day tournaments, V5 Leagues spread qualifying matches across multiple ranking sessions, giving students the rare opportunity to test, iterate, and improve over time — a powerful extension of engineering learning in action.

League Format

  • 5 total dates (4 Ranking Sessions + 1 Finals Day)

  • 3–4 qualifying matches per session

  • 3 Driver Skills + 3 Autonomous Skills runs per session (yes, every time — see Rule T24!)

  • Teams attend 3 or 4 ranking sessions plus the Finals (you want to play at least 60% of the qualifcation matches)

    • <T12> c. When in a league, every Team will be ranked based on the number of Matches played. Teams that participate in at least 60% of the total Matches available will be ranked above Teams that participate in less than 60% of the total Matches available; e.g., if the league offers 3 ranking sessions with 4 Qualification Matches per Team, Teams that participate in 8 or more Matches will be ranked higher than Teams who participate in 7 or fewer Matches. Being a no-show to a Match that a Team is scheduled in still constitutes participation for these calculations.
